From dust jacket notes: "...The gaiety, the spirit, the excitement that is the circus is here in a tumble of exquisite color and design created by the celebrated artist Corita Kent. DAMN EVERYTHING BUT THE CIRCUS is the letters of the alphabet dancing, bareback riding, clowning, tightrope walking, trapeze flying, acrobating their way through fluorescent colors of circus magic and capturing the magic of life as they do so. DAMN EVERYTHING BUT THE CIRCUS ruefully reflects the three-ring circus of our lives in the poetry of e. e. cummings, the irony of Camus, the perception of Dostoevsky, the sensitivity of Rilke, the lyrics of Joan Baez, the stimulation of Roethke, the shrewdness of Thoreau, the strength of Emerson, the insight of Dewey, the discernment of Adlai Stevenson. With the aplomb of the ringmaster, Corita conducts this bandwagon of words and color from the design of the book jacket, endpapers and title pages, through the pattern of each handwritten page making admission to this circus a performance deserving loud and happy applause." Hardcover, 10.75 x 10.75 inches, black cloth, blind-embossed title front board, gilt lettering on spine, illustrated endpapers, 60 pages (unpaginated), color illustrations throughout.
